Canon MP470 printer problem

Bought machine in late Oct07 at Staples. Just opened the box after settlement w/ Canon over $50 rebate. Got it up and running. Prints OK, but black ink spot on every page in the same spot, about 2" in from LHS and 1/3 of the way down. It is odd-shaped, about the size of a fat pencil eraser. It is there, whether using black or color print button. I looked at black cartridge, no other excess ink. Pls help.

I think your printer requires a little servicing. Those spots are
usually caused by a dirty gamma wire, and probably the fuser is
requiring a replacement. Both tasks can be done on-site, but require a
little knowledge of the printer internal parts.

take out the staple cartridge and in the clear plastic you will see the arrow engraved the white box also has a arrow these two have to overlap each other to open the case it has two little tabs at the bottom press them in might wanna use a pen or something and the top part will pop up just pull it out

If you have a internal finnisher,you open the front cover of the finnisher,remove the stapler cartrigde with it's green handel.Remove the paper cover of the previous cartridge.Insert the new staplers in the possition of the arrows.Remove red plastic.Reinsert cartridge back into machine.

You need the UPC code for a rebate. You won't find that on the printer itself. It's on the box that the printer came in, usually one of the flaps or on an end panel. Most rebates require that you cut out this square (it says Secondary Proof of Purchase and has the code in it) from the box and mail it with the rebate (that's to keep people honest, I guess). According to a rebate coupon I found for the MX700, it should be a 12-digit (all numeric) code.
